The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 163 Meeting Ebony Lord Again

Chapter 163 Meeting Ebony Lord Again

Judge slammed on the brakes. "What's going on?" asked he.

Just as the Land Rover came to a stop, a figure rushed towards them at lightning speed. The person was covered in bruises and appeared weak.

"Ebony Lord?!" Judge shouted when he recognized the man.

It was none other than Ebony Lord, whose name was Spike Arnold, the former Provincial Governor of the east district of SHADOW, alias Tyrone May.

Billy opened the car door and Casey and Judge followed suit. As soon as they got out of the car, four masked men started chasing after them at full speed. They were all skilled fighters with two of them being mid-level Battle Gods while the other two were already True Master Battle Generals.

"Go to hell!" One of the Battle Gods growled at Spike Arnold before charging towards him. He quickly caught up to Spike Arnold and unleashed a powerful gust of wind that sent him flying with tremendous force accompanied by an earth-shattering energy blast.

"You're dead!" Billy furrowed his brows in anger before swiftly dodging out of harm's way. At that moment, he released a wave of energy from his palm that swept through everything in its path.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed through the air, sending shockwaves that shattered several trees on either side of the road and sent leaves flying everywhere.

Immediately after, the masked man on the other side was sent flying like a pile of leaves, hurtling through the air for forty or fifty meters before crashing heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.

The remaining three men were stunned. They didn't expect Billy to have such strength.

"Damn it! Who are you people?" the other Battle God asked angrily.

"Commander Gardner..." Spike Arnold had run over to Billy's side by now and said a few words before collapsing in a daze with his eyes rolling back in his head.

"You're Commander Gardner?!" The three men exclaimed in unison upon hearing this.

Without any advantage whatsoever, they quickly turned and ran off to one side. Just hearing Commander Gardner's name was enough to make them lose all will to fight.

"Can you get away?!" Casey and Judge both chased after them at once.

"Leave one alive!" Billy's voice rang out as he went over to check on Spike Arnold's injuries. After a while, he furrowed his brow slightly, since Spike Arnold had only just recovered from an old injury when he sustained new ones, which were also quite serious.

Without thinking too much, Billy helped Spike Arnold into the car and took out silver needles to treat his injuries.

Nine silver needles shot towards Spike Arnold's body as if they had a life of their own, all piercing into his body. After the needles were set in their positions, Billy placed his hand on Spike Arnold's chest and infused him with a strong surge of chi energy.

Soon after, Spike Arnold woke up and looked at Billy. "Thank you Commander Gardner. I..."

"You were ambushed when you reached the step of breaking the mirror, right?" Billy interrupted him.

"Yes!" Spike Arnold nodded in response. "Thanks to your help last time, my injuries healed in about ten days. Although I've been stuck in that village for three years now, I've never neglected my training for even one day. Despite my injuries severely affecting my progress during these three years, I still managed to accumulate some experience. I wanted to try breaking the mirror after you healed me but just when it was crucial timing they came knocking on our door."

"Hmm." Billy nodded.

"Don't talk now. Relax your whole body and let me take control of your chi flow. I'll help you."

Spike Arnold's eyes lit up before quickly nodding. "Thank you, Commander Gardner!"

Billy took a deep breath before infusing another surge of chi energy into Spike Arnold's body like an erupting mountain torrent.

"Hmm..." Spike Arnold furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of pain flashing across his face. He felt several high-pressure waves continuously striking his meridians, each one stronger than the last, as if undergoing a baptism of the meridians. While enduring extreme pain, he faintly felt a glimmer of hope rising in his heart. He knew that Billy was trying to help him break through and he seemed to catch a glimpse of that layer of dawn.

"Sink to Dantian, preserve the crown of the head and chi gathering place." Said Billy.

"Okay!"

After about twenty minutes, Billy removed his palm from Spike and pulled out the silver needles one by one.

"Okay now, you can circulate your two channels on your own."

"Hmm!" A flash of joy passed through Spike Arnold's eyes. He had already vaguely felt that the chi in his body had surged several levels. If he estimated correctly, he might have succeeded in breaking through the mirror realm. So, he quickly urged his mental method to guide the chi to circulate around the channels.

Boom!

After about fifteen minutes or so, an immense momentum burst forth from Spike Arnold's body like water bursting from a dam - undoubtedly revealing the aura of a Warlord.

As expected by him earlier on with Billy's help, he had truly become a Warlord.

Overjoyed at this success, Spike Arnold stood up and knelt down before Billy with one knee touching ground.

"I am the former Provincial Governor of the eastern district. Now I pay my respects to you, Commander Gardner!"

"Get up!" Billy raised his hand.

"Thank you, Commander!" Spike Arnold responded loudly as he stood up and bowed deeply to him.

"It's nothing, no need for formalities." Billy raised his hand again.

"A few days ago in that village, due to special circumstances, I was unable to recognize you. Please don't be offended by it." Spike Arnold continued speaking.

"I understand," Billy replied with a faint smile.

At the same time, Judge and Casey walked back over.

"Boss, those scumbags all committed suicide. Not one of them was left alive!" Judge said somewhat angrily.

"As expected," Billy responded calmly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Judge and Mr Kimmons, I am Spike Arnold." Spike bowed slightly towards them.

"Oh! You finally admit your identity?" Judge glared at Spike Arnold.

"I'm sorry. It was unavoidable before. My apologies, Judge." Spike Arnold smiled awkwardly in response

"Not bad! You've broken through to become a Warlord?" Casey felt surprised after sensing the aura emanating from him

"It's all thanks to Commander Gardner's help!" Spike Arnold replied gratefully

"Alright then let's talk somewhere else." With that said, Billy turned around and headed towards his car.

Thirty minutes later, the group arrived at a business point for SHADOW in Ozin.

"Once again, thank you, Commander Gardner!" As they entered a meeting room, Spike Arnold bowed deeply to Billy.

"Have a seat!" Billy moved over to the couch and took a seat.

"Thanks!" Spike Arnold nodded in response.

"Ebony Lord, is it now time to talk about what happened back then?" After Judge took his seat, he looked at Spike Arnold and began.

Spike let out a heavy breath, his gaze fixed ahead as his thoughts drifted back three years.
